The T.S. Eliot Appreciation Society has morphed into a full band these last couple of months and this month, for the very first time, we’re all holed up in a studio in Sweden to record a new album. Stay tuned for more news!

NEWS: We’re very proud to announce that on September 30th our new album ‘Turn It Golden!’ will be released through Greywood Records. That’s the cover art, by Viktoryia Shydlouskaya, below. Come celebrate this happy event together with us at the EKKO on the night of October 1st, where we’ll play the album in its entirety, plus some old hits of course. You can buy those cherished tickets here.More information about new shows and new videos coming soon!

It has been way too long since the release of A New History, so I’m very glad to announce that I’ve returned to the studio and started work on the second record. As the process continues, more news about the album will be published here!

I have no clue why they haven’t released an album in over seven years, I miss them dearly. Bubba and Matt Kadane have only released phenomenal records, first with Bedhead and later with The New Year. Their sadness is a sadness that brings happiness. I do hope one day they’ll come back and visit my part of the world.

It´s already been quite a couple of months since I joined Town of Saints on tour in Germany and Switzerland. Filmmaker Lotte van Leengoed accompanied us those weeks and made a short documentary about the the tour, which will be presented in Utrecht’s cozy Mirliton Theater on June 18th. Both Town of Saints and I will play a show in the theatre after the movie is shown. All in all, it looks like it’s going to be a special night! Alas, there’s only space for 60 people, so don’t wait any longer and buy your tickets here:

If there’s only one book you’ll read this year, please let it be Helen Macdonald’s beyond excellent memoir H is for Hawk. It’s many things in one: a social history of falconry, a personal account of taming a goshawk, a psychological portrait of novelist T.H. White, and a haunting tale of bereavement and the slow road upwards from depression. Macdonald conjures up images you’ll never forget and her way of looking at the world will alter your own forever.

The tour with Town of Saints has come to an end, but luckily we had film-maker extraordinaire Lotte van Leengoed with us, who made this beautiful film of Town of Saints and The T.S. Eliot Appreciation Society playing Melancholia & The Wicked Messenger together in a castle-tower in Bern. We hope you enjoy!
